The northern part of the Randstad faces a big development problem. For the time to come a growth has been planned of 400,000 jobs and 570,000 inhabitants. This growth will have its effect in the field of traffic and tranportation. The accessibility of the region will be further under pressure. The threathening and actual problems can be alleviated and maybe even solved by tuning the plans for this region. This tuning is realized by a planning support system that uses scenarios. Condition is however that the analysis will have to be interesting, usefull and understandable for traffic planners and urban developers alike. In this way the different policy fields will get and stay involved in the planning of an economically attractive and accessible future of the Noordvleugel (North Wing). (Author/publisher)
